All this crap about any records in the era of post Elvis and pre-Beatles were no good is nonsense when you hear the quality of this record.It wasn't all about Frankie Avalon and the Bobby's(Rydell,Vee,etc..etc)Age43.
gifted voice, 1961, I was 16, in our winter Santiago, Chile. I remeber my calassmates, 4th, Liceo Barros Borgoño, my friends of the block, flaco Maldini,(RIP),R.Sepùlveda, Tito,(RIP), SergioyNanoLagos,KikoyChocheCuevas,Berta,Susy,Peta,M.Angélica,Miriam,Cunca,Rosario, Rita, M. Eugenia, A.María,Anice,Paty Creus,María, LuchoRomero y Garrido, Pepe Lay y Castro,Milo, Nano, J Galaz, Jurnan, great memories!!!! The jukebox of Don Nacho's soda fountain,
heard this song as a little gilr and fell in love with it even though its about heartache. just knew that heartache happens to all of at one point in time in our precious lives
I joined the Air Force in 1961 and was in Basic Medical Training at Lackland AFB when this song came out.....I spent many a coin in the Juke Box at what we called Frosty Freds drinking coke and playing this song....Lonely for the girl back home.........thanks for the post........
I was 12 when this song hit the am stations back in 1961. It was in the back of my mind,s music collection. Many years ago I did finally get a copy on cd. It sounds terrific which can,t be said of a lot of the older recordings.
I wasn't even around when this song came out but I still love the song as well as a lot of the music from the 50's, 60's, and 70's. By the way I was born in 1971 which in itself saw a lot of great music released!!!
I was in a band that backed Dee up when he appeared at a shopping center in Miami in 1962. We had 30 minutes to rehearse "Raindrops" with him in an empty store front before getting up to play on a flat-bed trailer. He was a genuinely nice guy. The 'soul scream' he does at the end of this recording is one of the greatest of all time and still gives me the bumps...
Ah man, this is pure soul. This man has the voice of an angel, slick guitar work, and full backup orchestra. We used to play this and hit the reverb tank on the amp to get the thunder effect. What a beautiful song, only 3 minutes long.
If you don't like what he did in this song, with the brilliant arrangements and incredible voice, and the pathos in the magnificent scream near the end... then you don't like music. It's that simple. Go listen to some serious morons mouthing bad doggerel to extremely repetitious beats... aka rap.
@SirBasildeBrush - Yes, I found those two in stereo, and was thrilled twice! That is a CLEAN album you have there! Thank you! (Some folks don't know, but Nobody But You was a big hit in '58 on Falcon/Abner, then VeeJay re-released it in '62 and it was a small hit again. I think jazz great Riley Hampton was Clark's arranger, by the way, thus the beautifully transparent arrangements.
Wonderful song, timeless, even better in stereo. Clark was sadly underrated and talented in many genres. Among my favorites: "Nobody But You," "Just Keep It Up," and magnificent album track, "Blues Get Off My Shoulder." He died way too young.
A Top 5 hit for Dee Clark on both the Top 40 and the Rhythm & Blues charts in the summer of 1961. It would be his only successful hit. We miss you, Dee.
@mkl62 "Hey Little Girl" was #20 pop & #2 r&b. He had 4 other top 40 songs - "How About That", "(Crazy Little Mama) At My Backdoor) "You're Looking Good" & "Your Friends"
Dee was truly one of the best, and one of my all time favorites. He died nearly penniless at 52 years. I think these guys went through money like water being used to fight a 5 alarm fire !
@390merc65 I'm with ya, in fact, make it a6 pack and pretzel rods. Love the great golden oldies. I had read that Dee Clark died broke and penniless some years ago. Such a shame,so many good acts from yesteryear were taken advantage of financially, yet some of these so called "artists" of today can make ridiculous money putting out garbage. RIP Dee.
@ShadowHawk4219 That is so true. One of the reasons why Dee Clark was ripped off was because of the fact that he was an African-American who had real talent and they used him to fill their pockets. They are the same unscrupulous corporate people who do the same by having these talentless slackers of today (like Rhianna) put out garbage and hoard the world of their economic resources.
I absolutely loved this song in '61. Sign of a classic is that, after all these years, I still love it. But then, I heard it playing through the 2 transistor radio my Dad gave me that I would hold up to my ear to hear it louder. So it was lovely to hear it in stereo. And I LOVE the chords they used behind the words " ...fallin' from my eye eyes" and "I don't know where she's gone". Perfect!
Another song that mesmerized me when i was a child. I just love the stories songs like this tell. they dont tell these stories today. this was to the heart, soul, and spirit.
Oh no there must be a cloud in my head, rain keeps falling from my eye eye each time I hear this. Just your perfect great single the way they used to make 'em like Suspicion by Terry Stafford or I got to pieces by Peter and Gordon or Ben E King's Stand by Me.
Dee Clark, and Gene McDaniels.....DAMN...now there was some GREAT music.... I was 11 in 1961....and I sang RAINDROPS, and TOWER of STRENGTH and HUNDRED POUNDS of CLAY on the school bus ALL the time...
Yes....I was a nerd....but......I had good taste...
I still get chills (the good kind) every time Dee hits the high notes. one of my favorite "lost" oldies...such grace, power and flow...just beautiful. thanks for posting!
My childhood appreciation of music could never have been complete without the great Dee Clark,Brook Benton, Tommy Edwards or Sam Cook..I have a CD from each of these guys...Just a tremendous talent and it breaks my heart that they are no longer around...I am 61 now...and I still miss them
Dee Clark did an excellent job on this song.. can't imagine anyone doing this any better. And the stereo is an extra bonus. Check out the violins in this video especially at 1:01.. they are great. Never quite heard that before on this record.
@snork48 Yeah, I first heard this back in 1987. I was night driving after leaving a nite club. I had a really good buzz going on but I wasn't impaired or anything. I turned the radio 2 da oldie station cause i was n da mood 4 something different. This song came on from the beginning & caught my attention. I felt the emotional vibe & paid attention 2 da storyline. I could relate 2 the lyrics cause I 2 had been through heartbreak. At 1st, I thought it was Sam Cooke, Frankie Lymon or the platters.
hey it was a great time to be his friend . it saden me alot when he died .. he was still young . and still had a great voice.. so Dee Clarck heres to you; you were a great friend,and Singer. your friend Jean Marc Bergeron
Thanks for the upload of a very cleverly worded and poignant song. I thought the only way I would hear "Raindrops" was on an oldies radio station. This is a true love song about a broken heart and unfortunate tribute to a long gone era...music for the whole family. Now you have to hunt for family entertainment.
wow guy,s this is ausome ... i use to be his friend and body gard up to his death... we had a ball together.. the last show he played at was at orlando there i met chubby checker the marvelets ,gladis night and the pits. the dear mrs franklin what a blues singer she was my favorit..
Excellent! It's so great to hear this version. I agree with LaVerne37 about the strings...much better than the single version. Thanks for posting this.
Like Sally Field said when she accepted her 1985 Oscar..."you like me...you really like me!!!" With all your fans Basil, you still find the time to treat this ol' alta caca to the best that the Brits have to offer...music truly unites the world...I never get tired of this gem and no one can sing it quite like Dee...even though his album in the south had a white couple on its cover...lol...what a crazy world. It's people like Sir B and songs like this that make it all worthwhile!!! TEN STARS!!
to mention perfection and Basil in the same sentence is reduntant!!! the U.S. will one day rapture you up to heavens!!! (but you can't take any Susan Maughan discs with you!!!)
Oh, I Love this Song Very Much! 5*s I was singing right along..but I was singing a woman ain't suppose to cry...lol..Just kidding ahahaha...Thanks Sir...Anita
Sir....I agree with LaVerne37 that the cascading strings are more pronounced at 1:00 and 2:00 (especially at 2:00). I prefer this version. Thanks for sharing it....
